i am a big fan. but as much as i like to read hemingway's work, i am just as impressed with biographies on hemingway. i find him just as interesting as anything he ever wrote about. my question is the car,los baker biography from the 1860's is really the yardstick by which all other hemingway biographies are mentioned. i was impressed by one by jeffrey myers about 20 years a ago. my question is how does it measure up against the others and are there any others in the works? because i would love to, you know, i can't read enough about the man. >> you are always entering into difficult territory when you ask scholars to comment on the work of other scholars, but you are on, susan. >> ok. i am very much on the spot here. i absolutely share with you your admiration for baker's biography. it's a wonderful work. it's a little dated now because of, baker really couldn't write about some of the things that later biographers have gu beguno write about. if you want the best of all, you need to read michael rey
